It sucks that a final four appearance isn’t enough to keep a kid instate.

It would help if we didn’t unnecessarily lose two key players since then - and generally suck this year. At this point, we’re banking on Frank’s relationship with these players. And that’s not enough when you’re competing with the best programs in history.

Fine by me not all 5 stars work out on superstar freshman teams see this year's Kentucky team and Harry Giles. Tater basketball stays off the map. They will make the tourney but don't have the inside game to make a deep run. Now let's get after Simons, Montgomery and those 2019 boys

I get both sides of it. I certainly understand the draw of going to an established power and playing with a bunch of other elite players. And Coach K is the best teacher in the game.

But, I'm surprised more recruits don't want to make a legacy somewhere of their own. Zion will be forgotten at Duke 5 minutes after his last game as the fans turn their attention to the next batch of incoming 5* recruits. Whereas, if he had come here or Clemson, he'd be a legend in the state forever. He'd be beloved by the fan base forever.

Agree with your second paragraph not the one about dookies leprechaun.

Like Ben Simmons did at LSU? One and done’s never make legacies. Most kids under 25 prob don’t even know Durant went to Texas
